    fúcking hiliarious...

    Thanks for your interest in the South Lake Union Trolley. It is so great to see so many of you interested in public transportation, right?

    so seriously... why can't we make public transportation a humourous gag like they did?

    I'll seriously thinking of getting 1 of their t-shirts...

    I'm kind of shocked if that's legitimate, usually the American PC Brigade wouldn't tolerate the proposition of such a thing, nevermind actually let it be active.

    Website doesn't look too convincing though, is it even real?

    I've found a few groups on facebook and some other news stories about it, so looks like it is.

    Like the time I took the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter you'd say. Now where were we, oh ya. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because if the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

    Maybe we can combine the LUAS and the SLUT into one company.
